Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 346 Sweetheart

The two of them turned quickly and walked to the door.

"Is Yan'er here?"

"Mom, you're back. What did Dad say?"

Li Xinyan pounced on her, hugged Li Zhang's arm, and twisted her body to act coquettishly.

Li Zhang pinched her nose lovingly.

"If anyone dares not give our Yan'er face, mother will ask your father to cancel the engagement."

Li Xinyan's eyes widened with surprise.

"Really, mom, oh, mom, you are so nice!"

In an instant, the laughter of three women could be heard in the room.

The three of them laughed for a while before they stopped.

Li Zhang straightened her face and pretended to be serious.

"Yan'er, I have prevented such a big thing for you. You shouldn't be hiding something from me, right?"

Li Xinyan's face was full of joy: "Of course, mother is my dearest person."

Li Zhang nodded: "Well, tell me the truth, does Yan'er already have someone in her heart?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Li Zhang stared closely at her daughter's eyes.

Li Xinyan's eyes rolled around twice and her face began to turn red again.

Li Zhang's expression changed. "If you don't want to tell mother, then I'll tell your father. Never mind. Marry whoever you want."

After saying that, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.

Li Xinyan quickly grabbed Li Zhang's arm.

"Hey, Mom, I said it's not enough."

"Okay, tell Mom quickly."

Li Xinyan handed the letter in her hand to Li Zhang.

"Here, this is the man."

Li Zhang was also a lady from a prominent family. She was naturally literate and knowledgeable.

He took the letter and glanced at it, then calmed down and thought about it carefully.

"Hmm, it's a really good poem. Was it written by him?"

Li Xinyan nodded shyly.

"Is this person called Lin Feng?"

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Madam, this man is the Viscount Qingshui of the Great Sect. He is young and talented, and is proficient in both civil and military affairs."

Li Zhang put on a smile and said, "Yan'er does have good taste, but this person is a little far from us."

Li Xinyan started to act coquettishly again: "Mom, don't we still have Daddy? There is nothing Daddy can't do."

Li Zhang nodded proudly: "That's right, there is really nothing your father can't do."

The next moment, Li Zhang grabbed Li Xinyan's arm and began to tickle her.

"Hey little girl, how long have you been hiding this from your mother? Tell me..."

Li Xinyan twisted her body wildly to avoid it.

"Oh, Mom, it itches..."

"Gluck cluck..."

The three of them laughed and made noises again.

While they were playing in the backyard, Li Jiping in the front yard had already received a reply from Viscount Qingshui Lin Feng.

Li Jiping also breathed a sigh of relief after unfolding it and reading it.

As I had judged, Lin Feng was indeed a talented person.

Not moved by beauty, he only cares about the peace of the territory.

If the two sides reach a trade agreement, it will create a win-win situation for both Dazhong and Xixia.

This is indeed much better than a simple marriage.

Li Jiping had just been freed from his wife's care and no longer worried about his daughter's unwillingness to marry far away.

The next issue was the selection of envoys, as well as the personnel composition and organization of Yinzhou merchants to go to Dazongzhenxi Protectorate together.

The leader of the diplomatic mission must be familiar with the trade reciprocity between the two sides.

There are also the foreign policies of the two countries, as well as what you think in your heart.

A position that is too low is not good, and one that is too high will damage one's self-esteem.

After much deliberation, Li Jiping decided that Deputy Commander Zhang Enyi was the most suitable candidate.

Compared with Lin Feng, who controlled half of Zhenxi, his status was exactly equal to that of the deputy commander of Yinzhou.

Zhang Enyi was on the same page with him, so Li Jiping felt very relieved to have him go on the mission.

"Someone, go inform Deputy Commander Zhang to come to the palace immediately to discuss matters."

The next evening, Zhang Rui, the daughter of Deputy Commander Zhang Enyi, ran to Li Xinyan's bedroom again.

He secretly pulled Li Xinyan's sleeve and asked her to send the maid out.

"Xiaoyan, do you know that my father is going to Dazongzhenxidufu?"

Li Xinyan immediately widened her eyes.

"Did your father say that himself?"

"Of course, my father and mother secretly told it to me, and I heard it."

"Didn't you say what you were going to do in the west of the town?"

Zhang Rui recalled briefly, "It seems they were discussing some bilateral trade with Zhenxi."

"No marriage alliance or anything like that, right?"

Li Xinyan asked nervously.

"No, we didn't talk about that. We were just negotiating to establish some kind of trade."

Li Xinyan patted her chest with her small hands: "It's okay, it's okay, Mom didn't lie to me."

Suddenly, his brows furrowed. “Did your father say who he wanted to negotiate with?”

Zhang Rui rolled her eyes at her and pretended to be reserved: "Guess."

Li Xinyan grabbed Zhang Rui's armpits with both hands.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll scratch you to death..."

Zhang Rui was very ticklish and surrendered immediately.

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, it's Lin Feng."

Li Xinyan put down her hand, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and began to daydream.

Zhang Rui understood her thoughts best. She approached nervously and warned, "Xiaoyan, don't do anything rash. My dad will skin me alive."

After a while, Li Xinyan finally spoke.

"Rui, your father must have brought a lot of people with him on his diplomatic mission to Zhenxi."

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Rui asked vigilantly.

"I was thinking, what do you think if I disguised myself as a guard and followed your father's diplomatic mission, going there and coming back quietly?"

Li Xinyan said while thinking to herself.

"Give up that idea now. The number of people in the diplomatic mission is strictly controlled."

Zhang Rui's head shook like a rattle.

Li Xinyan grabbed Zhang Rui's arm.

"Good Rui'er, no matter how strict I am, I still have you."

Zhang Rui struggled to break free and said anxiously, "No, I wouldn't dare lie to Dad."

Li Xinyan said cunningly, "No need to let your father know. We can just quietly change a guard. You are familiar with your father's guards."

Zhang Rui glared: "Yes, they are familiar with it, but I dare say that they dare not do it."

"I don't dare to change it. Can you add one more person? I just want to take a look. Please, Xiaorui, just one look. I'd be willing to die even if it means death."

Li Xinyan shook Zhang Rui and begged desperately.

Zhang Rui felt dizzy from her shaking, and thought that it was not impossible.

Talk to Dad's captain of the guards secretly. It's just adding one more guard, no big deal.

But what if Li Xinyan meets Lin Feng and makes a fool of herself again?

"Xiaoyan, this is originally a small matter, but if you reveal your whereabouts, it will become a big deal."

"No, I promise, I swear, if I am exposed, let me..."

Zhang Rui quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, let me go ask, okay? I really shouldn't have told you this."

"Rui, you are the best to me. Thank you for helping me fulfill my biggest wish in this life."

Countless little stars appeared in Li Xinyan's beautiful eyes.

Zhang Rui quickly got up and walked out.

"I can't stand you anymore. I'm leaving."

"I'm waiting for your news, Rui, please, please..."

That night, Li Zhang was massaging her husband's back in bed.

Li Jiping closed his eyes and lay on the bed, looking very much enjoying himself.

Li Zhang asked worriedly, "Master, I heard you sent Deputy Commander Zhang to Dazong Town West?"

"Ah."

"What are you going to do?"

"As a woman, it's better not to ask about political affairs."

Li Zhang pouted: "I'm just worried about my daughter's marriage."

Li Jiping said in a muffled voice without opening his eyes.

"Don't worry. I originally wanted to marry Lin Feng, but I didn't expect that this man is such a talented person. He didn't let me down."

Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, Yan'er can sleep well..."

Suddenly her hand paused, as if she remembered something, but then she remembered nothing.
